New Interesting Trading Books?

Recommended Posts

All of you post some interesting trading books, but some of them are not new trading books as mentioned in the title thread, :o, just joking.

 

Another new trading book I'll mention is Bryce Gilmore's Price Action Manual - One Day at a Time 2007, another very practical S&P trading handbook. Bryce even offers his ES Price Action Chronicles Vol 1 for A$1 only.

a very new trading book by suri duddella, "Trade Chart Patterns like the Pros", a very practical trading handbook if you like pattern trading, imho

 

Jesse:

I am already familiar with 95% of the patterns listed in the table of content. Do you think I will still benefit from reading the book ?

 

 

Thanks

The Professional Commodity Trader by Stan Kroll.....

 

nice...I always get books for christmas, have to add this one to the list. I'm a sucker for any old book under 10 bucks.

Tops for my list are Steenbarger's last book, The Nature of Risk by Justin Mamis and Markets in Profile.

Barnes and Noble has the Way of the Turtle in the stores, if anyone is thinking of getting that I would read it there first. Really seemed pretty useless.

I have communicated with suri duddella personally from time to time over the years, he is a knowledgeable trader and programmer. He self-published the book and is not strictly an "author" as many are on the subject. It's amazing how many authors/promoters in this business do not even trade anymore. Maybe its not so amazing. There are even more traders who drop big $ on this stuff.

Consider that cheap. $250.00 is the electronic version, the hardcopy preceding this one by the same author used to sell for $850.00:o

I see most folks here are into technical manual type books, but for a new stock trader "Reminiscences of a stock operator" and Cramers first book "Confessions of a street addict" are more fun than educational but worth the time.

I would recommend the books by Thomas Bulkowski, he includes a lot of statistcial analysis as to what works and what doesn't, % successes etc. He also has a web site http://thepatternsite.com/

 

One caveat - he and others have suggested recently that classic patterns are failing more often than in the past, probably due to the numbers of people trying to trade them.

 

It also seems to be the cases that rather than totally failing many patterns are apparently failing but can be jumped into a little later (eg the apparent break up, which then breaks down, goes sideways and then suddenly resumes the direction originally expected.

Forgive my cynicism, but most everything that is written and is for sale is being sold because it is yesterdays news. Nothing that truly would make you profitable is for sale. Could you imagine someone selling what really works.

As crazy as it may seem you'd have a much better chance of success by sticking to this site than by reading trading books. At least then you might run into some generous and sympathetic traders who want to pass on their knowledge / help.

I guess the thing to do then is to read books that deal with 'principles' or 'fundamental truths' about markets. There are some books that do contain a bit of 'wisdom' too.

That's a good way to put it BlowFish. What are your top 3 or 4 books that have taught you those market principles? Thanks in advance.

All time favourite is Reminiscences (of a stock operator). After that it get's a bit more tricky. I started re-reading Market Wizard over Xmas, and am enjoying that for odd bit's of 'wisdom'. I always like stuff on price action Dunnigan is a favourite though Gann wrote good stuff on PA too. Studies in Tape reading ....I could start going on and on here so should stop. Looking at the title of the thread I see it is 'interesting' rather than 'useful' I go through phases of reading quite a lot that is 'interesting' but perhaps of limited (if any) use :D

 

I am inclined to agree with you, there is much that is good here on TL. Thales Real time thread, DBPhoenix's burrow spring to mind. Jperls market stats threads which opened my eyes to a whole other set of statistical principles.

I too have read Schwager's books on fundamental and technical analysis, he is thorough. In fact his work introduced me to Thomas Demarks books and together with Jason Perls book on Demark Indicators I bought all 4, some really good stuff.

Have read Dunnigans "New Blueprints for Gains in Stocks and Grains & One Way Formula for Trading in Stocks & Commodities" it just didn't sink in with me, but maybe it's just me. Once I learned to look at the market in new ways some of those older books don't seem to strike a chord anymore, but who knows, down the road it may hit the spot.

    • Date: 26th November 2024. Trump’s tariff threats boosted Dollar; Peso, Loonie, Gold & Oil Lower. The Trump trade picked up steam as investors cheered his pick for Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent. Beliefs he will be a steadying voice in the administration’s fiscal measures, while still following President-elect Trump’s tariff and tax commitments, underpinned. Asia & European Sessions:   Trump threatened on Monday to impose sweeping new tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico on his first day as US President to crack down on illegal immigration and drugs. He would impose a 25% tax on all products entering the country from Canada and Mexico, and an additional 10% tariff on goods from China as one of his first acts as president of the US. Bessent’s 3-3-3 plan aims to cut the deficit to 3% of GDP, boost growth to 3%, and increase oil production to 3 mln barrels. Treasury yields dove in a curve flattener, extending their drops through the session, on expectations inflation will decelerate. A strong 2-year auction also supported. The Dow led the charge, climbing 0.99% to 44,736, a new record peak as the rally broadens. The S&P500 climbed to 6020, a session peak, but finished with a 0.3% gain to 5987. The NASDAQ closed 0.27% higher. Today, stock markets in Europe are posting broad losses, with the DAX down -0.6%, the FTSE 100 0.4%, after a largely weaker close across Asia. ECB: Lane suggests ECB must be open-minded on speed of rate cuts. The ECB’s Chief Economist said in a speech on Monday evening that “remaining open-minded about the speed and scale of adjustments is in fact a valuable strategy across various environments, as different situations may necessitate distinct approaches.” This careful, step-by-step strategy enables us to observe the responses of the economy to our decisions and continuously refine our understanding of their impacts.” The comments leave the door open to a 50 bp move in December, but also tie in with our expectation that the central bank will deliver a 25 bp while tweaking the forward guidance and commit to additional moves. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex hit a session high of 107.50 and is currently lower at 106.85. Mexican peso and Canadian dollar slumped as the dollar is being viewed as a haven after the comments of President-elect Donald Trump on tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China. USDCAD spiked to 1.4177 and USDMXN rallied to 20.74. Oil and Gold lost ground, in part on cooling geopolitical risks, and on Trump trades. Oil dropped -3.03% to $69.09 per barrel, in part on the Trump trade and on talk of a potential cease fire between Israel and Hezbollah. Similarly, gold fell -3.26% to $2605 per ounce.
